Guild Wars 2

Hi, with this new patch I’m experiencing very heavy stuttering, (can happen in world events or alone)..its just strange that before the patch i had no problems at all .
Is anyone else experiencing similar stuttering since the patch?
my pc specs:

Geforce gtx 770 (driver 340.52)
i5-4670k @4.0 Ghz
8 GB RAM 1867 Mhz
Windows 8.1 Pro

hope you can fix this asap

I think I found the problem,having High Res Character Textures on after recent patch makes the game stutter, with the option off the game start to run smoothly like before.
Please fix this issue !!

Exactly, high res character textures is broken! when i uncheck it the stuttering disappears, even if i haven’t changed map (there has to be a change of map for it to take effect)

Please, whoever still has this issue send a ticket to get their attention since mine resulted in “unfortunately this isn’t enough information for us to go off of just yet, and I was not able to reproduce this issue on my own system”.
If enough people report it, then they’ll surely address this.

I dont have the option checked (it’s greyed out) and still have this problem, it’s very noticable compared to pre patch Gw2.

Settings aren’t making a difference for me, However the game is reporting that my FPS is fine, Saying I have 60-100 FPS but I turn the screen and it feels like its displaying 3 frames a second even though options itself says I have 100 FPS.

Anyone else experiencing the same issue? Currently in process of reinstalling GW as its just unplayable as of feature patch

Specs:
CPU: 3570k
GPU: 7970
RAM: 8GB
SSD: raid 0

Yip.. not just a single map or so.. its everywhere in game now… WvW was poor earlier (no queuing so maps were not anywhere full), EotM was laggy, field of ruin was pants, plains of Ashford was terrible… if it were just me lagging, freezing, stuttering, DC’ing then I would be the first to hold my hand up and say .. crap internet connection, but its happing to whole groups, and many players on maps at same time.. map chat is just too busy with players discussing it.. I cant even go to Timberline Falls now, as soon as I get there I get DC’ed within minutes… its simply a mess imo.
I made the comment in chat earlier that its making SWTOR performance look good now.. funnily enough quite a few agreed in chat D

turn off the High Res Character Textures option for now

I haven’t the high res character textures activated and i have the stuttering problem after the patch too.

You are not the only one. Whole forum is raging about this. I used to have 50fps, but now I have 10~25. Nice patch.

They changed something, I noticed the same stuttering. I believe they changed how the audio works because it seems more consistent and doesn’t seem to “miss” as much as before.

Personally, I would prefer a better framerate and I am not really concerned about audio “dropouts” for certain voices during events. I believe this is taking more processor time for audio, therefore you lose some on video and network.

This is just MY theory though. I can’t really complain too much because I don’t have a high-end gaming machine like most here.

From the support team:

We have received a couple reports of performance issues since the new patch and we are in the process of investigating. Until we know more I would suggest keeping an eye on the forum for updates or workarounds.

Now all we can do is waiting.

Hopefully there’s something on their side that they can fix, it prob only affects some of us but it’s been almost unplayable since the patch, frame rate just spikes even in instances.

I’ve tried the following, and it helps a tiny bit, there are still spikes though, something which was not an issue previously before the patch.

• repair Gw2 archive
• cleared appdata Gw2 folder.
• Updated Nvdia Drivers to latest compatible, adjusted all settings for best Performance.
• Set Model Limit to Lowest, Model Quality to Lowest, Environment to Medium, LOD to Medium, Render to Native, the rest at Low/None
• Frame Limiter 60
• Mixing buffer size to Most stable

Man.. it’s been a week and the problem is still here:

Hello same problem here
My specs:
Cpu:G3258 OC to 4ghz
Ram:4gb DDR3 1333
Gpu:MSI Gtx460 Hawk

The problem is occuring after the FP Patch.
Yet on my brother pc which is:
Cpu:4670k Non OC
Ram:8gb DDR3 1600
Gpu:Gigabyte 650ti
No problems at all..

I had this issue too turning high res character textures off seems to have fixed it for now.

Phenom II 1090T and HD 7950 for refrence

Been having a similar issue with lag spikes. Not enough to suffer a disconnect, but it’s been lagging for 4-6 seconds, then snapping into position afterward.
Can’t be sure if it’s from my new router or just badly timed with the patch, but it’s been really getting to me.

Still no news ?

They merged the topic and ask for “info”, nothing more.
